Improving The Flow With Tesco
When Tesco, the UK's leading retailer launched its Factory Gate Pricing initiative, it turned to G-Log, a provider of global logistics and transportation software to come up with a new solution. With G-Log's expertise and through the use of Global Command and Control Center (GC3), it created a system to address Tesco's logistics processes for collecting goods from suppliers and delivering to Tesco's 23 UK distribution centers, managing 14,000 shipments per week within the first two years of implementation.
Tesco was founded in 1924 and over the past 79 years has grown and developed to become Britain's leading food retailer. Over the years, Tesco has expanded its footprint from selling groceries to offering 50,000 product lines, ranging from food and toiletries to garden products, small electrical goods, clothes and gasoline. One of Tesco's most recent ventures is the launch of its fixed line phone service.
With high-quality customer service, exceptional value and choice being high on Tesco's agenda, it strives to ensure that all processes are operating efficiently, reducing costs where possible to ultimately benefit its customers. When Tesco looked at its distribution process it turned to G-Log, using GC3 as its solution.
